CPR consists of chest compressions followed by rescue breaths - for single rescuer do 30 compressions and 2 breaths (30:2), for > 2 rescuers do 15 compressions and 2 breaths (15:2). The rate of chest compressions should be 100-120 compressions/min and depth should be 1.5 inches for infants and 2 inches for children. [citation needed]

CPR involves chest compressions for adults between 5 cm (2.0 in) and 6 cm (2.4 in) deep and at a rate of at least 100 to 120 per minute. [2] The rescuer may also provide artificial ventilation by either exhaling air into the subject's mouth or nose ( mouth-to-mouth resuscitation ) or using a device that pushes air into the subject's lungs ...
All infants who are 'gasping', show signs of being apnoeic (suspension of breathing), or have bradycardia with a heart rate lower than 100 beats per minute after birth are recommended to be administered positive pressure ventilation with a 'manual ventilation device' to provide breathing support. [4]
respiratory rate below breaths per minute; heart rate less than 110 beats per minute; it is necessary to begin ventilations with a rate of 30 breaths per minute. If, after 15 ventilations (thirty seconds) the heart rate remains below 60 per minute is necessary to begin resuscitation, otherwise continue.
After defibrillation, chest compressions should be continued for two minutes before another rhythm check. [30] This is based on a compression rate of 100-120 compressions per minute, a compression depth of 5–6 centimeters into the chest, full chest recoil, and a ventilation rate of 10 breath ventilations per minute. [30]
CPR - The responder(s) should begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. [25] Interruptions to chest compressions should be minimised, except to allow for rescue breaths from mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
